Net1 York Herald CRd.).
While the Western Union monopoly is
settling itself in the saddle for a long ride
on the public back Senator Cullom reports
that Congress is sure to take up the ques-
ton of Government telegraph line. "A
number of bills have been drafted" he
says, and he thinks a proper measure will
receive general support. A proper meas
ure will be q bill establishing a Govern
meut telegraph line, to be worked by the
POstofice Department, to have q telegraph
station at every ~postofiee, and to charge q
uniform rate for the whole country. When
such a line is in operation the Western
Union Company, no longer a monopoly,
will still find enough to do. 1t will hold
most of the mercantile business and a great
deal of other work; but il will not be able
to Cypress the country with arbitrary
charges and a poor service.
Cleveland PaiRdeaer (Dem.)
1t is useless to talk about rival rival
lines. 1t is too late now to suggest schemes
for aiding the Postal Telegraph Company
to make a stand against the Western
Union. The people are brought lace to
face with the alternative of complete sub
mission to the dictation Of Jay Gould Oh
the establishment Of o Government tele-
graph in connection with the pOstofice.
Whatever objections there may be offered
To the latter course they cannot outweigh
the evils Of an irresponsible telegraph
monopoly in the hands of Jay Gould. Be
tween these two the choice must now be
made. Commercial competition in tele-
graphing in this country is at On end.
Birmingham. Ala, Herald (Dem)
The universal demand will be that the
Government condemn the Gould property.
Let q Jury Of his cOuntrymen fix the dam
ages, and let the Government pay the
Judgment. There is no middle ground.
The building of o new line by the Govern
ment is impracticable and will consume
too much time. The country must use the
telegraph wires and cannot for a year or
more submit to a robbers rate Of prices.
The prompt method is the better one. Let
Congress enact the law; let the Government
take possession of all the telegraph system
in the country, and protect the people from
plumber.
PttsbuTg Dispatch. (Ind.)
While a majority of the people of the
United States are somewhat 10th to come
to such an extension of political patronage
as Is implied in the establishment of a
Government telegraph system, the fact,
constantly driven home by the great cor
pOratiOn msguates, that the telegraph bus
mess under private enterprise must be a
monopoly is the strongest lever to convince
them Of the necessity offs change. If we
are to have a Government telegraph Messrs.
Could, Sage, Dillon, and Morgan will
have been the people who furnish the
strongest arguments for it.

At this time both sides of nearly every

telegraph lines, 80 that a new company
could be practically debarred from crossing

farms and town lots, the owners of which,
these days, are not reluctant about de.

a new opposition system to the Western

always avoided by regular travellers. But
the lecturing committee had written to
the humorist agreeing to meet him at the
depot upon the arrival of rhls train, so ne
had no alternative. Two hours travelling,
however, served to put Mark out of pa
tience. Stopping the conductor as he
passed through the ear, Mark asked as
civilly as he could: Why don't you peo-
pie run this train faster?' The conducter,
ignorant a. to who his questioner was,
roioined: 1T runs fas. enough to suit Us.
II you don't like the rate Of speed why

PEACHES IN THE SOUTH.
planters JOurnal.)

The latitude of Arkansas and Tennes
see, and little further north, on the
Atlantic coast, hes been defined as the
peach belt of the United States North
of this line the winters are so cold that
trees often freeze to death unless OF a
very hardy variety and protected by a
sheltered location. South of this line the
winters are so short that trees do not get
sufficient rest to enable the buds to push
with the yigor required to perfect fruit,
hence many varieties bare but sparsely.
Crawley's Ridge, in Arksnsas, produces
the finest peaches grown on the American
continent. The table lands Of Middle
and Eastern Tennessee, and the northern
portion of Alabama and Georgia come
next to Arkansas in producing this deli
cious fruit to its greatest perfection, and
which promises, with scientific care and
proper attention, to become the most prof
table industry in which the people of
these regions can engage. Previous to
the war, Mr.. Charles A. Peabody, OF
Columbus, Ca, devoted much study to
peach culture and was wonderfully sue,
cessful in producing frdit lhat command
ed enormous prices in the eastern markets.
His early crop netted him from s. to $40
rer bushel, and were sought with great
eagerness. Our farmers should give more
attention to peach culture. 1t is a most
delicious fruit which everyone can be
abundantly provided with, except in To-
calities unsuited to their growth. An
orchard protected by hillside with
grayely soil, is best suited for a peach
orchard, and if the holes in which the
trees are planted are dug deep, and filed
to within twelve or eighteen inches CT
the surface with gravel, an abundance of
moisture is supplied and any surplus
water carried off, thereby affording much
longer life to the tree. The great excel
lence of the peach, as fruit entities it to
better treatment than place in fence
corner, or the end of turning row. on
the farm whore the field hand may
chance to drop a seed. Have an orchard
and good one, aud large one when
practicable, fill it with good varieties, pay
attention to its care and culture and one
of the greatest sources Of pleasure II
farm life will be promoted and protita'
bic industry secured.

How They Keep the Great Army of Thieves

It is boast of the detectives that
they are personally acquainted with all
professional criminals in and near town.
The results of this acquaintance are
often peculiar You are talking with
Detective Prior few feet from the door
of the Fifth Avenue Hotel and he sees
young dandy halt few feet away.
Better keep right on" he says to the
dandy; hurry up, now" 80, good
morning." says the dandy. I'm only
going to set my watch" That is Kid
Miller, chief of the bunco men, and the
detective will not allow him to stop in
front of the hotel. You are pushing
your way into a shopping store and a
little ladylike body is just ahead of you.
Suddenly some one steps up to her and
roughly orders her to Get out at
once" Certainly, sir" she says very
meekly, Il was only going to match
piece of silk She lies. She is shop
litter and the man who ordered her out
is detective.
Perhaps you are at the Arion ball,
with its five thousand dancers and look
ers on. You walk in the lobby near the
entrance for breath of air and meet
Captain Williams, in uniform, alert and
handsome as an eagle. He darts from
your side and stands in front of a stout,
elderly, well-dressed gentleman so rs to
oppose his progress. what do you
mean by coming here?" he says. The
man answers boldly: my wife is here
and / have come to take her home"

A neatly dressed, rather substantial
looking man of middle age sends in his
card to Inspector Byrnes at police head
quarters. The name on the card is that
of burglar better known by an alias,
ay Red Leary," for instance. "Well,
what do YOU want?" Mr.. Byrnes asks
gruffiy. He has an especial tone for
men of that class and it is tone that

MAIARIAJ FEVER.
A Disease Caused by . Powerful Micro
Scopic Organism.

SCOPE Organism.
Remittent fever is closely related &c
intermittent. Each depends on the
same cause. and each is characterized
by frequent subsistence of symptoms,
followed by their renewal. The inter-
missions of the one, however, have a
singular regularity, lasting, according
to the type of the fever, one, two or
three days. The subsistence in remit
tent fevers is only for few hours
generally in the morning-and is much
less in degree, as well as in duration.
Sometimes it is hardly perceptible. The
symptoms of remittent fever are also
more marked. The temperature reaches
a higher point, point at which, in
severe cases, the blood is dangerously,
and often fatally, changed in its nature.
1t generally reaches its highest point
within a few hours. 1t is the fever
which is so fatally malignant on the
west coast of Africa, and prevails ex-
tensively in the jungles OF India Its
fatality is greatest in hot climates, but
its existence is not confined to the trop-
les. but is found in every malarial re-
gion.
The natives of malarial regions are,
in the main, liable only to intermittent
fever, while persons from abroad are
specially liable to remittent, but when
they have recovered are mostly secure
h.
who have had intermittent fever are
liable to it in depressing weather, or in
low condition of health, long after
removal to nOn-malariOus regions. The
shorter and less marked are the remis-
sions, the greater is the danger.
Malarial means bad air. But chem
ical analysis reveals no difference be-
tween malarial and ordinary air. With
in few years, however, microscopic
organism has been discovered in ma
larial air, which seems to be the cause
of the fever. 1t has been duly isolated,
and when animals have been inoculated
with it they have exhibited all the char
acteristic symptoms of the disease. The
organism is found in patients sick with
malaria. Without doubt these germs
Or whatever the poison-exist in soils
rich in decomposed vegetable matter;
but they depend for their development
on the co-action of heat and moisture.
Still, they are often carried by the wind
to regions naturally wholly free from
them-sometimes up into mountainous
regions, and to regions having sandy,
sterile soil. The upturning of soil for
cultivation, the digging of canals, the
bnilding of railroads, the obstruction
OF natural water-courses, are often fol-
lowed by malarial epidemics.
The premonitory symptoms are nearly
the same as in intermittent fever, but
the cold stage is very much less, often
only slight feeling of chillinees. 1t is
sometimes mistaken for typhoid fever,
but the typhoid patient reaches high
temperature much more gradually than
one who is afflicted with malaria

Skilled Labor Cheapest

The farmer too often makes the mis-
take of employing man who will work
for the least money, without regard to
his ability. If he has some minor build
ings to erect, instead ofsecuring a good
carpenter, it is thought to be economy
to secure an ordinary laborer at half
the price per day. In such a case it is
nearly always true that the skilled
workman would DIP much more than
twice the work in day. Then the
satisfaction of having the work, in any
line of improvement or repairs, as it
should be, is a sufficient reason, too. for
such a course. There is a ''fitness of
things" which should be continually
kept in yiew.-NatioHaI Liue-.StOck
